Wow. Once again when the show needs to be serious and powerful, it delivers. This episode, like the last, really shows the power of the Empire and is doing a great job of accelerating into the finale.
First of all: music and visuals were once again amazing. Kevin Kiner and the visual team are doing wonders for this show.
After a couple meh, inconsequential episodes, this week's pair got the story moving again. This episode did a great job of making the heroes lose and in a realistic way. The way their plan didn't work initially to steal the shuttle (that X trooper shooting the pilot was so good) and the way in which Omega decided to give herself up was well done. Only slight critique would be that crosshair could have been a little more emotional and considered how Hunter might react (but I'm sure we'll see that reaction next episode). I was surprised when we didn't see a face reveal from the X trooper but that will for sure come soon (I think it's Cody but maybe it's just a random guy who knows).
And obviously that ending left me shocked. I wish he had his helmet off after he missed so we could see his reaction. But even with the helmet on you could sense the dread.
Overall, great episode and two parter and I'm really looking forward to next week and seeing what will happen.
